Author Topic: "Error creating XML parser" when running (Read 8441 times)

Good afternoon,

I have a problem with running EA. After installing EA and trying to launch it, the message ""Error creating XML parser" is displayed and it is not possible to launch it.

Do you know what could be the problem and how to fix it?

Thank you in advance,
Petr

I know that once I had the same problem and someone from Sparx helped me out. But that's years ago. Maybe you're lucky and find the thread (the search doesn't seem to work so well). AFAIR it was some missing MS DLL stuff?!

Long shot here. Try checking the Use Jet 4.0 option on the Tools | Options dialog. Remember to exit and restart EA afterwards.

It's possible (maybe) that XML links were not added to any of the system DLLs until after the Office 97 relase of Jet.

Had the same message when installing EA 6.5 (799) on Vista.
Did a repair on the EA install (started installation again) and EA seems to work now.

Hope this helps.

Thank you all for your help.
I have already solved the problem - Microsoft XML (MSXML) libraries were missing and that was the problem..

Regards,
Petr

I installed MSXML 4 SP2 (via link in previous post) and I still get the error.

Edit: Note I'm using Vista Ultimate. I previously had EA 6.5 installed.

Using Windows XP SP2

The MSXML 4 SP 2 solved the problem (which was happening on Rise of Nations too...)

I have 6.5 installed on Vista, which worked just fine for awhile, now I'm getting this error. I did install Sql 2005 recently and I don't know if SQLXML4 is causing a conflict or not.

Support Team...any thoughts?

Try executing the following two statements at a DOS prompt:

regsvr32 msxml3.dll
regsvr32 msxml4.dll

Those did the trick for me recently.

(Note I also had re-run the Vista install as an "upgrade" which in itself did not help.)
